Okay after joining this site and posting a few replies I think its time that I post a pick of my steed. Its an '08 RKC in vivid black. There are many like it but this one is mine. I have a set of '14 hard bags that I will eventually install, I'm missing the lids for them. Waiting for aftermarket companies to start production of the new style of lids to flood the market,

Nice scoot.but I am bias as my 09 looks close to yours.

May I suggest a laydown license plate or relocation. Just my 2 cents worth.

Here is my 09 with laydown and now as it is relocated.

Sweet bike! Keep the tires white and it'll pay you back in the compliments you get from others.

Wow, some incredible looking bikes! Mine's a 2002 RKC. I went back and forth between fishtails and turndowns. TD's won. I can't take credit for anything but the turndowns, as the bike was pretty well done when I bought it. Here's a few pics.


The day I bought her:

Here's my '08 with her new stretched bags. Maybe not a "Classic" look but I'm trying for a sort of neo - retro blend.
